. Senator Buchanan and Ives nominated
Mr.. Davis, and Senators Pope and Aiken
Mt. Doran. When Nj. OaNald' 9 bill giving
Minneapolis another Judge came up, Mr..
Goodrich objected to it because, heseaid, he
could not find that there was any reason
Why another Judge should be appointed
there. The state law provides that in case
the Judges 81 any distrlct nre unable to take
care Of the business OF the courts they can
call in judges from other districts to help
them out. Mr.. Ward said he opposed the
bill because it was time for the Republican
party to stop making fat offices for people.
There was no use for another iukge at Min
neapolis, az the judges there could get all
the help they needed from other Judges.
Senator Pope introduced bill TO au-
2 thorize the burial by the state OF honor
ably discharged soldiers and sailors who
die without leaving means Tor that pur-
pose, and appropriating 81 900 per year
for that purpose. q d. =.
